Iran said on Wednesday the United States had agreed to remove all sanctions on Iran’s oil and shipping but Washington said, “nothing is agreed until everything is agreed” in talks to revive the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, Al Arabiya reports.
The remarks by outgoing President Hassan Rouhani’s chief of staff Mahmoud Vaezi echoed previous assertions by officials in Rouhani’s pragmatist camp that Washington is ready to make major concessions at the nuclear talks in Vienna that began in April.
The indirect talks adjourned on Sunday for consultations in capitals, two days after Iran held a presidential election won by hardliner Ebrahim Raisi, the Iranian judiciary chief subject to US sanctions.
